The scupture collection at the National Museum in Stockholm isn't as big as many in Europe, but it makes up in quality what it might lack in quantity. Above is Apollo Kitharoidos from 1838 by Bengt Erland Fogelberg, 1785-1854. There are more works by Fogelberg in the collection than any other artist, including his mentor Johan Sergel whose work will also appear here today.

ReplyDeleteApollo always the inspiration and subject of artists since antiquity, from classical sculptures to mid-century physique photographers.
Fogelberg was influenced by Sergel and studied under Guérin, and like them studied in Rome.
